Mass Effect 2: new footage & details revealed

GamePro: "Electronic Arts and Bioware held an event in San Francisco earlier this week to show the first hour of Mass Effect 2 to the press and trickle out some more information prior to the game's January 26 launch. The demo answered some questions about the mysterious "death" of Shepard that early press materials alluded to."

all it takes is a 150usd gpu upgrade to make it into a gaming pc, even if the pc is 3 years old with that upgrade it will outperform any console for the rest of this gen.

so that makes the pc cheaper the xbox360.

plus pc games are cheaper then xbox, online is free.

even if a new pc is bought. the price difference between games alone will make pc cheaper in the long term.

Xbox is the most expensive gaming system imo.

i am sure hes using a pc to type his posts. if its anything like a 2-3yr old dual core setup maybe running around 2.4ghz. A gpu upgrade is a cheaper alternative then the 360. plus it will run the game at a higher res then the 360 also better fps. Last Mass effect had FPS issues, id think the same will be true for ME2 on 360.

anyways its his choice, pc definitely is cheaper and superior even if he has a 2-3yr old system.

Those thinking that a $200 console is a more "Costly route" vs a PC for $350 to $1500 needs their head checked. PC will never compete against a PS3 or 360 in price as a device to play current generation games. Finding a PC to play 1-2nd year and 1st year PS3 games will cost you about $350-$500 You need a PC enough RAM a big HD Vista/Windows7 good GPU/CPU to play these on the same big screen as your console and raises the price to $600-$1500. Entry level gaming PC cost about $350 and most are barebone. http://computers.shop.ebay....

Ether you seriously need to research PC's or you're just trollng fanboys and since this is N4G I'm going to assume the latter. You don't even need Xbox Live for this game, any dlc will be for gold and silver. Go back under your bridge trolls you're all wet with jealousy and you need to dry off.

Uncharted 2 is a completely different game. How could even say that one was like the other? Oh, because they both have a cover system? Give it a rest. Plus, if Mass Effect 2 turns out to be as highly polished as Uncharted 2, I will eat a homeless man's shoe.

"The bottom line is this, and it's probably no big surprise; you will need to have completed the first game for those choices to count. The status of characters, relationships, and side quests is only pulled from the last save that the game makes after you've completed it, Muzyka told us. "

My $500 PC have an Intel integrated HD4500 card, so X360 for me.

Anyways those with capable PC, you can run in on Windows XP, Vista, or Windows 7, ie Microsoft Platform..if you feel any better.
